Exhibition “SECOND FORM – Designed with History”

The exhibition “ZWEITE FORM – Designed with History” is an upcycling art project by photographer Felix Schelb from Münstertal. “ZWEITE FORM” is a unique art project that gives old drawers a new lease on life. Each drawer is carefully selected, handcrafted into a picture frame, and paired with a chosen motif. The motifs are predominantly scenes from the Black Forest that Schelb photographed himself. They are printed on brushed aluminum panels—a surface whose fine texture creates a beautiful interplay with light. Light areas begin to shimmer, while darker ones remain calm and matte. Each drawer, marked by the passage of time, thus meets modern design. Every combination is a one-of-a-kind piece that preserves history while taking on a new, timeless form. Whether in a private home, a hotel, a restaurant, or an office—each piece is unique, bringing a personal touch to the space.
